About the host
Hosted by Matt Aukes
We’re a family who believes in hard work, community, and making lasting memories. I own an automotive repair shop, and before that I taught high school band. My wife continues to inspire young musicians as a middle school band director, and our kids are active in sports and music—keeping us on our toes, but also reminding us daily about the importance of balance and joy.
Even with our busy lives, we always make time for family, friends, and giving back. Volunteering and community involvement are central to who we are, and we carry that same spirit into hosting. We love helping people feel welcome, cared for, and set up for success in whatever they’re doing—whether it’s enjoying a family vacation or relaxing after a day of adventure.
To ensure the best possible guest experience, we’ve partnered with My Favorite Home Away From Home Property Management, a professional team that helps us provide seamless stays with excellent service. With their support, you’ll have the peace of mind of local expertise and reliable communication, while still enjoying the personal touches of a family-run getaway.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for its balance of peace, nature, and convenience. Whispering Pines sits on over three wooded acres along Roche-a-Cri Creek, giving guests direct access to fishing and wildlife right outside the door. At the same time, it’s only minutes from lakes, golf courses, ATV/UTV routes, and family-friendly attractions. Guests can enjoy the serenity of a secluded cabin retreat while still being close to Sand Valley Golf Resort, Lake Petenwell, Castle Rock Lake, and the charm of small-town Wisconsin.
What makes this property unique
Whispering Pines offers a rare mix of rustic charm, family fun, and modern comfort. From a wraparound porch and private campfire area to a kids’ playground with a treehouse and sandbox, it’s designed for all ages. Indoors, guests enjoy thoughtful touches like a Whirlpool tub, basement play zone with games and crafts, and a fully equipped kitchen. The direct access to Roche-a-Cri Creek sets it apart—whether fishing for trout, sipping coffee by the water, or exploring nearby trails, this cabin creates memorable experiences you won’t find at a typical rental.
